Chapter 42 Chapter 42 "Bang!" A loud bang...
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
Chen Liqing was hit by the tail again. He vomited blood and almost had no strength to run. The black snake did not kill him at all. It just watched him run away like a small animal. Every time he thought he had escaped, it would suddenly appear and hit him.
Chen Liqing realized that the other party was just playing with him.
"You..." Chen Liqing climbed up and vomited blood. He looked at the huge black figure hiding in the clouds and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Duan, listen to me, I had no choice but to do that. There was a misunderstanding between us."
The only response he got was the tail of the broken boat.
Chen Liqing clearly heard the sound of his sternum breaking. He screamed in pain, then with blood in his mouth, he climbed up and knelt on the ground in embarrassment: "Brother Duan, Brother Duan, I was really forced, Brother Duan... For the sake of our acquaintance, for this reason, I beg you, forgive me!"
"Ridiculous." Duan Zhou's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm. Waves of anger echoed in Chen Liqing's ears, and his spiritual power made his internal organs tremble.
Shen Wei, who was far away, naturally heard it too. He turned his head to look at the clouds and murmured softly, "Didn't you say little black snake? Why is the sound so strange?"
"I don't know." Lian Tian, who was standing by, said, "It seems like it was intentional, or maybe its vocal cords were made mute by the poison."
Shen Wei: ...
Chen Liqing was stunned when he heard the voice. For a moment he suspected that this was not Duan Zhou, but he soon realized that he was wrong.
He ran to the side of the mountain. When he heard a sound of breaking wind behind him, Chen Liqing thought it was the tail sweeping over him. He just dodged it, but in the blink of an eye he was smashed to the ground, and it was a claw that pinned him down.
This claw was extremely hard and huge, and the black scales on it were frightening to look at. Chen Liqing felt that all the bones in his chest must have been broken.
However, he was not concerned about his own injuries, but stared at the huge claw with wide eyes.
paw……
Snakes don’t have claws, but dragons do!
Sure enough, soon when he looked up, he saw a huge pair of pupils looking down at him. The dragon was huge, with its front paws stepping on Chen Liqing, and its eyes revealed a hint of coldness and ruthlessness that only belonged to wild beasts.
"Long time no see, Chen Liqing." Jiao said slowly: "I... missed you very much."
Nothing could describe Chen Liqing's shock and fear at the moment. He trembled all over and said, "Jiao...Jiao! You actually...turned from a snake into a dragon!"
…
"Brother, have you found that sword cultivator?" Qing Si swam over, spitting out his tongue and saying, "I looked around but couldn't find him. Could that sword cultivator have escaped?"
"No." Chen Wei shook his head very confidently and said, "Brother Duan is not that kind of person."
"...Boss, you are too nice to this sword cultivator." Qing Si felt a little jealous. Snakes have a strong possessiveness. It gently swung its tail and said, "He is a human, and we are spirit beasts. Big brother, you can't do this."
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Wei glanced at the whole place and indeed did not see Duan Zhou. He had just gone to the nearby place but could not find him either. He was a little anxious for a moment. When he heard Qing Si say this, he could only helplessly say, "This is our life-saving talisman. Have you forgotten?"
Qingsi wrapped around Shen Wei's wrist.
Liantian on the side glanced at it with disdain and hung himself on the branch.
Soon, however, Chen Wei sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy on the other side of the mountain. He immediately said, "Wait for me here. Make sure to keep an eye on this place and don't allow anyone to go to the back of the mountain. Got it?"
Qing Si stopped joking this time, immediately became serious and nodded the snake's head.
Chen Wei immediately rushed to the back mountain. However, at this moment, the dragon that was tormenting Chen Liqing seemed to have noticed something. It suddenly raised its head and subconsciously looked in the direction of Chen Wei.
He was ready to deal with Chen Liqing directly, but Chen Wei came too fast, so he could only increase the strength of his claws and crushed Chen Liqing's chest directly. After Chen Liqing spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes widened and he was out of breath for a while.
So when Chen Wei arrived, he could only see Chen Liqing who had stopped breathing.
Chen Wei walked to Chen Liqing's side, looked at his miserable condition, and then turned his head away. He was a little uncomfortable with such a bloody scene. At this moment, he heard a rustling sound coming from the woods not far away.
He immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a figure appear in front of him. It was the human swordsman he had found with great difficulty.
But now this human swordsman looks a little embarrassed.
"Are you sympathizing with this Chen Liqing?" Duan Zhou stood under the tree, his eyes cold and looking at Chen Wei with a hint of scrutiny, sneering: "Do you know this person of his..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Wei rushed over and looked him up and down, saying, "Fortunately, fortunately, you are okay."
"..." Duan Zhou's next words got stuck in his throat. He lowered his eyes to look at the spirit beast in front of him and said unnaturally: "Are you here to see me?"
"Yes." Shen Wei nodded.
"Aren't you here to look for that black snake?" Duan Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Don't try to trick me..."
"I'm here to find the black snake, too." As soon as Chen Wei said this, Duan Zhou couldn't even sneer anymore. He took a deep breath, holding back a fire in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said, "Then why are you looking for me, why are you looking for the black snake?"
"I'm afraid that black snake will hurt you." Chen Wei didn't understand what made this human swordsman unhappy. He spread his hands and said, "What if you get hurt?"
For a moment, the two looked at each other, one full of worry, the other full of scrutiny.
Finally, Chen Wei seemed to realize something. He was a little bit unbelievable and whispered: "You... don't believe what I said?"
"..." Duan Zhou was a little at a loss for words when asked in return. He looked at the sadness in the other person's eyes that did not seem fake, and was speechless for a moment. After a moment, Duan Zhou stepped forward and hugged Chen Wei, saying, "It's not that I don't believe you, I don't, I... I believe you."
Chen Wei was caught off guard and hugged. Before he could refuse, he heard Duan Zhou's words. Finally, he simply said, "What I said is true. I am really worried about you."
After all, this is his life-saving talisman, which is extremely precious. It will play an important role in the disaster of the extermination of the clan in more than ten months. There is no room for anything to go wrong here.
But these words had another meaning to Duan Zhou's ears. His eyes softened a little and he said, "I understand your intention."
Chen Wei was a scumbag. His heart was broken into three parts. One part was given to the enemy snake, one part was given to an unknown human swordsman, and the other part was given to Duan Zhou.
Duan Zhou used to feel very aggrieved because Chen Wei was too fickle, but now he suddenly realized that in Shen Wei's heart, he, Duan Zhou, was far more important than that black snake.
Duan Zhou was immediately coaxed into a better state.
"Who says a substitute is always just a substitute?" Duan Zhou whispered, "Don't wait until you lose me before you realize that I am your true love."
"What?" Chen Wei was a little distracted and didn't hear clearly what Duan Zhou said, but Duan Zhou was unwilling to say it a second time.
When the two men walked out one after the other, the disciples from Danzong saw that Chen Liqing had not returned but Chen Wei had. They immediately rushed into the woods and indeed found Chen Liqing's body.
One of the Danzong disciples immediately shouted angrily: "Chen Wei!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Wei looked back at the disciple in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You killed my senior brother. This feud is irreconcilable. When I go back and report to our master, I will make your Wanshou Sect pay the price!" the disciple shouted angrily.
"...I didn't kill it." Chen Wei inexplicably felt like a black pot had fallen on him. He said, "It was the black snake."
"Ridiculous! There are clearly claw marks all around!" The disciple continued to shout angrily, "You still want to deny it? Do you dare not admit it, Sect Master Shen?"
Claw marks? A thought flashed through Shen Wei's mind quickly, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment.
"It was the black snake that killed him. I can testify to that." Duan Zhou put on the snake mask again without knowing when.
"Human sword cultivator? Why would a human sword cultivator mingle with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?" Everyone did not sense the aura of a spiritual beast on Duan Zhou, and immediately began to whisper.
"You came here with Shen Wei, how can we believe what you say?" The Danzong disciple immediately scolded.
Duan Zhou snorted and laughed, saying, "Who cares whether you believe it or not? I'm just telling you Dan Sect. If you want to seek revenge, go find that black snake. It kills one person anyway, and it kills a sect, so it doesn't matter how many."
When he said this, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes, as if at that moment, the fate of the Danzong disciples present had been determined.
"Broken boat." Chen Wei said, "No point in saying more."
It is indeed useless to say more. From the matter of the City Lord's Mansion to the current incident, he only confirmed one truth: these people fear power but not virtue. As long as his Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is strong, even if he massacres an entire sect, these people will not say a word. If the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is not strong enough, even the death of a flower or a blade of grass will be a reason for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to be destroyed.
Strength is the only truth in this world of cultivation.
"We don't have to worry about him. The most urgent task is to find the black snake." Shen Wei said.
Duan Zhou was protecting the Wanshou Sect just now, but upon hearing this, he immediately ignored the Dan Sect, turned his head and looked at Chen Wei and asked, "Why?"
"It might be...it might be the snake I'm looking for." Chen Wei said honestly: "I'm going to take it back to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect."
Duan Zhou's heart was broken instantly.
He knew that sooner or later, Chen Wei would lose him! When Jiao completely gave up, no matter how hard he tried to win back this spirit beast, Chen Wei, it would never look back!
At this moment, Xuanwu Peak Wu Man looked at the hexagram in front of him in disbelief, muttering in a low voice: "One-sided heartbreak? Huh? How can this thing be one-sided heartbreak? And why does this hexagram jump back and forth? Are all snakes so emotionally unstable?"
